Chapter 35 - Ice Ice Baby



I brought my son to work today because it's "Bring Your Son to Work Day". I work in an ice factory and this will be the first time I brought him here. I introduced him to my co-workers. I showed him around and we decided to play hide and seek. One of my co-workers suddenly called out to me, and ask me to be his substitute, since it was my break time, I agreed. The day went on as usual, I moved the ice blocks from the freezer room, and operated the machines. My co-worker came back and he thanked me for subbing. I proceeded to pack the ice in the bags like usual and, it wasn't long enough 'til our time out. Time really flies when you're working. I suddenly felt something strange, it seems like I forgot something... My co-worker approached me to say goodbye. He then asked confusedly where my son was. That was when I realized that I haven't been attending to him since this noon. When was the last time I saw him? Right! We were playing hide and seek and... I panicked, I immediately went to the control room to check the CCTVs. I played back the footage since that noon. There he was, I was counting while my son was trying to hide. My co-worker came to me. I followed where son went to. He was hinding on the table. I came in to get something from the freezer room, he followed me, entering through the small opening. I went out and close the freezer room. My heart dropped at that moment. How long had it been? I went to the freezer room but no one was there... I dropped on my knees and cried.

In a bar, a couple who was set-up on a blind date were starting to get comfortable. The man ordered the best wine to impress the lady. It was served in just a few minutes. It was the first time they tried the wine since it was said to be exclusive in that bar alone. Surely enough, they like it very much, except for it's weird after taste. They were out of topic and so the lady started to munch on the ice. She was confused because there was something chewy inside it. She spit it out and discovered a chunk of meat.
